Status in “openjdk-6” package in Ubuntu: New

Bug description:
Basically when opening a web start application firefox gives one option for the jnlp file: Open with OpenJDK6 Web Start (default). The sun-java6-plugin isn't even displayed and I assume has to be manually selected.

But when you go to alternatives:
$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/javaws
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 2008-10-06 13:54 /etc/alternatives/javaws -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/javaws

So something is definitely amiss here. This is probably either firefox's or one of the plugin packages' fault. This is in Ubuntu 8.04 with all packages up to date at moment of submission.
